Dangit
That’s why I popped into the GDT to find the super-secret radio feed.
"You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.
Then he grounded out weakly to second.
Facey Face.

CJ went to JD & Thad last year and basically asked them straight up if he did a great job setting up would they give him a legit shot to start. They said he’s so valuable in his role that he would have to be “head and shoulders” above the competition for 5 spot. Describes it a “a really small nook” he could slot into.

Also tried to spin his comments about how pitchers don't want to come here
talked about how that was historically and now with such a great infield, everyone wants to be a starting pitcher. it was actually a compliment. apparently.

It's sorta down to ...
hoping Salty stays healthy enough to play regularly else we’re royally screwed.
this is the problem here
I don’t have any faith in Salty’s shoulder
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
yep
i think if max is healthy he might be a better option than teagarden, seeing as how his defense hasn’t been all it was cracked up to be

"Drinks are on me if Lewis posts >168IP and an era lower than 3.86." by RangerMad on Jan 20, 2010 12:36 PM PST
I'm walking from my house, about a 1.5-2 mile hike.
I was going to work security until I found out that it was free (the wristbands for Sat were sold out in minutes…figured it was the only way I’d be able to check it out.)

I bought a wristband for the whole weekend
I’m certainly hoping that gives some kind of advantage over the general admission free people.
But, even if not, it’s going to be an awesome time. I’m totally riding my bike to a friend’s who lives just across university from the fairgrounds and walking over.
"Drinks are on me if Lewis posts >168IP and an era lower than 3.86." by RangerMad on Jan 20, 2010 12:36 PM PST
I think wristbands get first shot at the line from what I understand. But I'm sure a bunch of jackoffs who get in for free will ruin it.

“Experts are projecting that between 10,000 and 30,000 fans will make their way into Denton for the free show and grounds open at 3 p.m., show starts at 6 p.m., and it’s all over by 9:30 p.m.”

The North Texas fairgrounds
where Carroll ends and Sherman begins right behind the Kroger. It’s just a big open grass field they’re building a stage on.
And you’re right, it’s still not going to be big enough.

it’s a free bicycle cab service that covers all the way from TWU to the other side of UNT. The drivers are all Denton hippies who work for tips, pot, hummus, whatever you got. It’s all about building community

I think the M’s may not be doing their awesome commercials anymore, because all the ads during the Pac 10 tournament suck. No humor whatsoever, just a bunch of sappy stuff about “We Believe!”
Including one talking about Suzuki and Figgins being the best 1-2 in baseball history.

Just got to my computer from work,
today’s box score looks tasty so far.
"Big whoop, wanna fight about it?"
Nice
Pitcher of the day: RHP Wilfredo Boscan. He is carrying more muscle on his 6’2" frame and had a great pen. His arm action is incredibly fast, and his FB had velo and life. He was hitting his spots with his CU (a future plus pitch, if it isn’t already) and his curve was showing some depth. He looked good.

Look at the comments under Jeff Wilson's blog post on dallasnews.com. What a bunch of rocket scientists.- Keith Law
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
On my boi Chad Bell:
Bell looks to have potential for three average to slightly above-average pitches. He’s in a BP group with LHP Edwin Escobar, LHP Winston Marquez, and RHP Braden Tullis, so I didn’t have a chance to focus on him today. I’ll get a good look at him when minor league games start.

Pressure Pen of the Day: Extra man in the group 5 pen rotation, RHP Randol Rojas was forced to throw a solo session with Nolan Ryan looking on. Rojas showed poise and stuff, pounding the bottom-half of the zone with his FB and showing some feel for the off-speed stuff. Smallish frame, but pitchability and stuff will make him an interesting arm to keep tabs on.

11-3 in the 4th - don't they sometimes shorten these games if things get out of hand?
I seem to recall that happening. Not that they should call it after 4 just wondering if that’s the case.
"You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.
Then he grounded out weakly to second.
